Patient's question:
A child has a persistent fever, and the fever goes down after taking fever-reducing medicine, but it comes back after a few hours. What should I do?Past treatment history and effectiveness: It was said that it might be a rash. What kind of help do you want: I want to ask if it's okay for a child to have a fever like this. Is it always okay to take fever-reducing medicine?
Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, the baby will have recurrent fever. It is useless to always take fever-reducing medicine, as it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause, and the inflammation is not completely eliminated. If the fever keeps recurring and taking medicine at home shows no significant effect, it is important to go to the hospital for diagnosis promptly. Use medication under the guidance of a doctor and do not keep delaying at home. The above advice is for the question "What should be done about persistent fever in children?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
